Chapter 19

(Nita's POV)

Once we were finished talking, he walked us to my room. I didn't want to go to bed. I didn't want to go through that hell called sleep. Once we got to the room, we walked to the bed and Diana and I sat down on the bed. I went under the covers and closed my eyes and he left. Once he left, I opened my eyes wide. I tried to keep them open as long as I could but after a couple minutes my eyelids just got too heavy and I fell into a deep sleep. I woke up in my old house and I saw my mom standing there with the knife in her hand. "Please, don't hurt me again." I whimpered out. But she still came after me. I screamed and ran out the back door and into the forest. I tried to dodge everything that came at me but again, like the other nightmares, a hand managed to grab my wrist. It pulled me to the side with a strong grip and held me close and put a hand over my mouth. It soon pulled away and turned me to face it. I looked up at his face but it was still a shadow. He said those exact same words but this time, instead of pulling out a knife, he pulled out a needle that had a familiar liquid in it and stabbed my arm with it and released it into my bloodstream. I tried to cry out for help but nothing came out. As soon as the liquid was all gone I got picked up in a fist. It felt so real. I felt like I was being crushed. I felt my ribs crack as the grip got tighter. I felt tears stream from my eyes and I whimpered. I closed my eyes and put my head down, going limp. I didn't want to look up. I knew what would happen next. I heard someone clear their throat but I kept my eyes shut tight and my head down. I heard them swear and they squeezed me even tighter. This time I screamed and I felt my body shaking. I woke up and tried to look to see who was shaking me. I looked to my left and saw Jetfire sitting there with a concerned look on his face as he held my shoulders. I felt relieved that it wasn't the thing from my dream and hugged him. I then started sobbing. I heard him ask, "Hey, are you ok?" I tried to answer him through my sobs but it just came out in a mix of sobs and mumbles, "T-They t-tried-d t-to k-kill m-me." "Who?" He asked. I remembered the people in the dream and started to cry even harder. "The man, my mom, the..." I tried to finish the last part but 1: I didn't know what that thing was and 2: I couldn't finish my sentence without having the words come out in even louder sobs. He hugged me even tighter and said in a soothing voice, "Hey, It's ok, they won't hurt you. Not while I'm here. It's ok." We stayed that way for a little while until I started to fall asleep again. I sat back down on my bed and tried to keep myself awake. "Ok, I'll go if you want to sleep." He said as he slowly lifted himself off the bad. I panicked and grabbed his arm to stop him. I don't want to be alone. "What's the matter?" He asked as he looked back at me. "C-Can you please stay in here? I-I don't want t-to be alone a-after that." I asked him. His surprised look turned into one of sympathy and he nodded. I thanked him and went back into my covers. He sat down on the bed and waited. I was a bit embarrassed at what I wanted to ask him next but asked anyway. "Hey, umm, Jetfire?" He looked over at me and gave me a questioning look. "C-Can you sit next to me? I-It's ok if you d-don't want to, though." I asked him as I looked away. I heard him giggle and then the bed creak. I looked back over to him and he walked next to the other side of the bed and sat down next to me. (P.S. Diana sleeps at the edge of the bed. She likes it there.) I lightly smiled at him and laid down on my pillow. He returned the smile and messed with my hair. "Goodnight." He said. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

(Jetfire's POV)

I sat down on the edge of the bed and waited for her to go fall asleep, like she asked. I sat there for about a minute and heard her call my name. I looked over to her and saw a light blush on her face. I gave her a questioning look and she asked, "C-Can you sit next to me? I-It's ok if you d-don't want to, though." She said as she looked to her left. I giggled and nodded. I got up off the bed and sat down next to her. She looked over at me and gave a small smile. 'She has a cute little smile, it could melt even Sentinel's heart, and that's saying a lot.' I thought to myself as I smiled back at her as she laid down on her pillow. I messed with her hair and said, "Goodnight." As soon as I said this she closed her eyes and fell asleep. I sat there and waited for the front door open. As I waited, I felt my eyelids get heavy. 'I'll sleep a little bit while I wait. I mean, I'll wake up when the door opens.' I thought as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

(Back to Nita's POV. Only for a little while though.)

I felt the bed sink down a little bit and I opened my eyes. I looked over at Jetfire and saw him sleeping. I smiled and immediately fell back asleep and I knew there wasn't going to be any nightmares tonight. 

{Time skip}

(Jetfire's POV)

I woke up to the sound of the front door creaking open. I opened my eyes and saw Nita sleeping peacefully. I smiled and slowly got up and walked over to the door. I opened the door and went downstairs to see her dad with exhaustion clear on his face. He thanked me and walked me to the door and handed me my payment but I denied it. He looked puzzled and I told him that the payment was just spending time with her. After that, I just closed the door and left.
